This review from the Guardian's Filter section assesses the ProCook outdoor pizza oven, a budget-friendly gas-powered model priced at £249. Unlike most pizza ovens on the market, which tend to come from specialist brands, ProCook is a broader homeware retailer, yet the reviewer found the oven punches above its weight, delivering solid basic performance that should satisfy most casual users looking to make restaurant-style pizza at home.

The oven features foldable legs, a 12in pizza capacity, and a manual rotating stone that helps achieve an evenly cooked crust without needing a separate turning peel. In testing, it heated from cold to 430C in around 25 minutes, roughly average for a compact gas oven, and lit successfully on the first attempt via its built-in ignition. At 12kg, it is portable enough for camping or visiting friends, though it lacks a protective cover and offers few accessories beyond a £10 pizza peel. Pizzas cooked well overall, with the salami topping performing best, though results showed slightly less rise than pricier ovens and some charring on thicker toppings.
